The Steelers expect a robust market to form, and expect to hear from teams like the Seahawks, Colts, Saints, 49ers, Packers, and Eagles. Team sources said that while they expect the Ravens, Browns and Patriots to have significant interest in Brown as well, there is virtually no chance they would deal him to such a rival.

If the Steelers actually make a deal, they certainly don’t want to send Brown over to their biggest AFC rivals.

So, it’s easy to understand why they may not want to do business with teams like the Ravens, Browns, or Patriots.

Some of the other possibilities are interesting, and again, it’s all about what the other team would be willing to give up since La Canfora also reported that a first-round pick is likely to be one of the things the Steelers want.

Either way, this is a fascination situation for all parties, and the Steelers have a huge decision to make on Brown this offseason.
